Does anyone else know the exact moment the game swung in the first half? Simple answer: When USCe went to a zone defense, we completely went flat. Why? B/C as I have said numerous times this season, Mike has zero concepts when it comes to attacking a zone defense. It is a shame too b/c this is a good team and whether watching live or on TV, I shake my head in amazement in Mike's inability to understand zone offense. Yes, USCe is a good defensive team. But a darn good D-1 team like UF should have a better method and understanding of how to play against a basic zone defense. My guess is USCe will continue to play zone D in the 2nd half and Mike's answer will be to try and shoot over the top of it. It may work, but that is not a zone offensive attack per se.

Wanted to put this in my game recap but it's best here. I agree with what you said and have said it numerous times myself. It is his biggest negative in the Xs and Os.

That being said. Tonight was amazing from White. Not the first half...that was bad lol. The 2nd half though, what great coaching by White once we got the lead and USC went back to the zones. He had our players driving and dishing, while making crisp passes and sharing the ball. It was perfectly ran. I also like how he went to the 5 out approach opening up passing, driving, and shooting lanes. It was a great adjustment and I absolutely loved it. I have been down on him in the past about his adjustments and offensive game plan, but White came up just as big as the players did in that 2nd Half.

Hopefully we see more coaching like this...keep putting us in the best position to win. White was great in the 2nd half...when we needed it

Gotta get Barry's ankle healthy for Saturday. Live in that training room, young man!

We didn't need Barry to beat USC, all we had to do was make a few shots and limit TOs. They aren't a very good team IMO.

As for White, I'm glad he learned how to beat the zone at halftime, I bet he had his "Basketball for Dummies" book handy.

Couldn't be more excited where this program is headed. Unlike USC and Martin, White can coach both defense AND offense. Novel concept.

The studio host said Allen is the teams leading scorer but this was the first game he has lead the team in scoring all year, that's an amazing stat if true and speaks volumes about this team.

Fake news I guess.

Great to see the team play better. Gives us all hope. Go Gators!

Solid win. I thought it would be much closer. 3 more games to win the conference!

And Billy D's teams often struggled vs zone defense. You just have to make good adjustments.

GatorJ · Feb 21, 2017

Zone defense sucks. There's a reason the NBA outlawed it for so many years.

Duke, Arkansas, Tinercee, Vanderbilt and a few others......so prolly fake....

Jbossgator8 · Feb 21, 2017

Always funny to read the pages as the game goes on. All the panic and joy and "oh White stinks and doesn't know how to coach" and then "oh what a great coaching job by White!" So which one is it??? Good coaching is being able to make adjustments in the game which White has done ALL YEAR LONG!! In White we Trust!! White doing work baby!! Haters and Complainers like FireFoley OWNED and DESTROYED....YET AGAIN baby!! Go Gators!!

Marine1 · Feb 21, 2017

White is solid and is going to be here a very long time I would guess. Has the team playing together well. Great chemistry. I really enjoy watching this team.

T REX · Feb 21, 2017

Very proud of our Gators tonight. White is proving himself to be one helluva young coach. What was this one - 9 in a row? And the games we've been winning by a comfortable margin. I'm loving this - Mike has a handle on it he's like a young Billy.
